today's entrepreneurs may use different technology to develop products and reach potential markets than their predecessors, but the work ethic and the passion to do something remains just the same. this week, i encourage my colleagues to explore the impact of entrepreneurship in their communities and to engage with start-up companies working to make the lives of americans better. i have met with entrepreneurs in kansas and across the country during the last 18 months. the passion and creativity of these entrepreneurs has encouraged me. one refreshing observation is that these entrepreneurs, while competitive, want to see their fell entrepreneurs succeed. they are also building new tools that empower others to make their businesses better. but in conversation after conversation, i also have learned that there are common challenges that entrepreneurs face, some of which can be solved by congress if we follow the entrepreneur's example of seizing an opportunity, rolling up our sleeves and working together. entrepreneurs in america are finding it increasingly difficult to start a business a
